800 businesses join second Vietbuild international exhibition
(VOV) - Nearly 800 businesses from 18 nations and territories around the world joined Vietbuild 2013, the second international exhibition on real estate, interior and exterior design, and construction materials which opened in HCM City on August 14.
2,160 pavilions feature the latest designs and building materials from China, the Republic of Korea, the US, Japan, Germany, France, Hong Kong and Malaysia.
Several real estate projects were introduced during the event in order to meet the housing demand for low-cost earners and civil servants.
In the context of the economic downturn, the event has contributed to boosting trade promotion and construction investment activities, the transfer of science and technology as well as speeding up the international integration process in the Vietnamese market.
At the exhibition, the organising board considered awarding the VTOPBUILD golden cup and medal with the aim of encouraging businesses to apply advanced technology in producing high quality products to serve the construction and property market.
The first VIETBUILD was held in HCM City in June. The exhibition will run through to August 18.
